Proper Planning Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 15, 2009

JAMES 4:11-17 PROPER PLANNING [Luke 12:16-21] It is too easy for Christians to make plans and set goals, expecting God to fall in line behind them. It is easy to plan our lives as if we controlled the future and had unlimited authority over the factors that affect our life. And so, in reality ...read more

Mother's Day attempt to elevate motherhood from its current cultural devaluation

Background to passage: Mother’s Day is a multi-faceted day! I want to thread the needle this morning as we think through a particular destructive worldly philosophy that has influenced the church.

The passage deals with immorality that shouldn’t be named or practiced among the believers at Ephesus, I want to emphasize that the scripture should not be burdened with baggage that it is often saddled with

Background to passage: It’s been a while since we have been in Ephesians, so a quick overview.

An ascent out of the depths.

WAITING IN HOPE. Psalm 130. This Psalm is a song of ascent: “Out of the depths” (Psalm 130:1).

All things DO work together for good for those who love the Lord (cf. Romans 8:28).

THE GOD WHO KNOWS ME. Psalm 139.

The Ten Commandments

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2013

In the LORD's schoolroom, the pass-mark is 100% - so contemplating the Law of God, summarily comprehended in the Ten Commandments, should drive us to Christ as our only hope!

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Exodus 20:1-17. The first thing that we notice about the Ten Commandments is that they are the words of God (Exodus 20:1). Secondly we notice that the LORD is the God who has redeemed us (Exodus 20:2). It is not the keeping of the Ten Commandments which saves us: salvation ...read more
